"21
THE BEACH AT VARADERO, CARDENAS, CUBA. 110658" with its expansive &
beautiful beach deserted on a sunny day (huh?!), unused 1926 postcard made
by Curt Teich & Co. for the Cuban National Tourist Commission, excellent
condition. Our dating comes from the printer's code. Do you suppose that
commission would have preferred a view showing many people enjoying the
natural beauty of the spot? We think so, and in so doing we have an
explanation for the rarity of the postcard! When we searched the Internet we
found one past offer only, no recorded sales & none on exhibition. $10.00

"THE
SUNDAY HERALD--BOSTON, FEBRUARY 25 / Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Hastings Riding in a
Tri-Car / In Havana and Equipped for a Journey Into the Suburbs" circa-1907
advertising postcard for Indian motorcycles reproducing the article with its
illustration for a contemporaneous & enterprising salesman, Undivided back,
minor corner & edge wear,
2 short internal creases from the right front center. Theodore K. Hastings
was the Vice President of the Federation of American Motorcyclists. He was
out of Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City and made publicity trips abroad to
Cuba & England, competing successfully at times. His activity continued at
least into 1908 where we found numerous different mentions of him in Vol.
LVII of the Bicycling World & Motorcycle Review. Pertinent personal message
handwritten on front
complements the advertising intent: 'Dear Veda. Have just returned from an
800 mile trip on my Indian. The Hendee Co Spring-field, Mass make them but
your local dealer will show you. They are fast, cheap and economical, and it
dont(sic) take an expert to run it and keep it going. Want one. Harry'.
Rare: no one else can show you this. The reason you do not see any more of
these is probably because the newspaper objected to the use of all its
presumably copyrighted article, text and illustration, for an unintended
commercial purpose of another business. That was also the probable reason
the card was mailed under cover, instead mailing exposed to public view as a
postcard. After paying to make them, the salesman still wanted to use them,
even when pressured by the Boston Herald! Sold but front
side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan
(publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75.

USS
NEWARK (C-1) & USS CHARLESTON (C-2). "U·S·S· NEWARK· / Protected Cruiser /
the White Squadron / U·S·S· CHARLESTON · / Prot· Cruiser· // Copyright,
1897, by American Souvenir Card Co. / 127 Duane St., New York."
Patriographic® American-Souvenir-Card with undivided back, mailed JAN 17
1905 from McAlester Indian Territory to miss Nattie Macoubrie in Olathe
Kansas, back heavily toned from album contact, recipient docketing "Ans. Jan
21-'05". Protected means that the ship had an armored deck just below the
waterline to guard against fragments from exploding shells above, but to
dispense with the side armoring which slowed the previous generation of
cruisers. The Newark participated in the blockade of Cuba, the bombardment
of Manzanillo & the Battle of Santiago de Cuba during the Spanish-American
War. During the same war, the Charleston served in the Pacific, helping to
take Guam & Subic Bay in the Philippines among its accomplishments; but it
wrecked beyond salvage on a reef near Luzon November 2nd 1899. So it is the
harder ship to find on postcard. $25.00 s(m)cgp-i
